Celebration Pavilion
A city-run garden pavilion with a fully itemized municipal rate card — ceremony, reception, security, insurance and music fees all in writing. Rare transparency.
Celebration Pavilion wedding cost
The City's own venue rental rates. Add 5% GST to every figure.
| Booking | Rate |
|---|---|
| Ceremony · Fri–Sun & stat holidays, per 2-hr slot | $2,237 |
| Ceremony · Mon–Thu, per hour (2-hr min) | $500 |
| Reception · indoor, 5-hr rental | $5,592.50 |
Every fee, itemized
This is what makes a municipal venue rare — the whole fee stack is published up front. All figures plus GST.
A municipal rate card — no surprises buried.
Because it's a City of Vancouver facility, Celebration Pavilion publishes every number: rental, mandatory security, music royalties, insurance tiers, even the reschedule fee. The one thing to hold in mind — it's a ceremony-first space: a full seated dinner is capped at 48 indoors.
What we know
Pulled from the City's official page and 2026 rental brochure. Every figure carries its source.
Budget-aware couples who want a landmark public-garden ceremony and value a no-surprises fee list. Ideal for micro-weddings and ceremony-focused days. The real constraint is size: 100 can watch you marry, but only 48 sit for dinner indoors — plan the reception accordingly.
What to confirm
Almost everything is published — these five close the gaps.
For a reception, which caterers can we use — is Seasons in the Park required, or can we bring our own?
How many security hours will our event require at $42/hr (minimum call-out)?
Is there a cleaning fee or damage deposit for a wedding booking?
What's the process and timing for the Special Occasion Licence for alcohol?
Can the 48 seated / 65 standing reception limits flex with the tent or arbour areas?
Budget it with no surprises
Ceremony, security, music and insurance are all published above. The five questions cover catering, cleaning and capacity.
